A new survey shows that Bill Clinton is by far the most admired president of the past quarter century.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, “Asked which president of the past 25 years they admired most, some 42% of respondents named Mr. Clinton” in the new survey conducted by MSNBC, The Wall Street Journal and The Annenberg Public Policy Center.
The Wall Street Journal goes on to report that:
The other three presidents of the quarter century all polled about the same: 18% said they most admired President Barack Obama; 17% named George W. Bush; and 16% named his father, George H. W. Bush.

The poll of 1,238 adults was conducted June 2-8. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.8 percentage points among adults.
For those unfamiliar with them, “The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania has been the premier communication policy center in the country since its founding in 1993.”
By conducting and releasing research, staging conferences and hosting policy discussions, its scholars have addressed the role of communication in politics, adolescent behavior, child development, health care, civics and mental health, among other important arenas. The Center’s researchers have drafted materials that helped policy-makers, journalists, scholars, constituent groups and the general public better understand the role that media play in their lives and the life of the nation.
Additionally, FactCheck.org is an Annenberg Public Policy Center project.
